Melted Coins = Masses of Metal!
« on: October 29, 2007, 11:02:00 pm »
I just created one stack of coins with 1 iron bar. Then I melted them. I ended up with 57 iron bars.

Huh?

I would guess the iron "bars" are just tiny lumps of metal. How much does each weigh? You'll probably have to melt them down to actually use them.

Bars are bars, so the numbers probably got messed with somehow.  I'll have to look at it.

Melting down an iron bolt produces the same effect.  See this thread:
